Re: [asterisk-users] Need ISDN call generator

2016-09-13 Thread Storer, Darren
Keep an eye out for older model INET Spectra call generators, with ISDN /
SS7 stacks. These days the old boxes are being sold off very cheaply on
popular auction sites.

Hammer was the other popular call generator hardware that you might find
being sold at a fraction of the original cost.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk disconnecting SIP Calls after 15 Minutes

 (manually copied that from the Wireshark window). This looks to me as if
 the provider for some reason does an INVITE after 15 Minutes, that is not
 correctly handled by my Asterisk. Is there any timer inside the SIP
 protocol, that may be aged by 15 Minutes? Or should I have a deeper look
 at the SIP packets?

Sip session timers?

 asterisk loads the module fine, but as soon as i try to swift anything, 
 asterisk core dumps.
 
 i'll be glad to post the corefile or sample extensions.conf if desired.

[asterisk-users] app_swift beta release

2012-06-07 Thread Darren Sessions
Hi folks,

Just a note to let everyone know I've finally finished up the new BETA release 
of app_swift (now v3.0.1 b1).


This release introduces some pretty major changes to app_swift such as:

- The entire code-base has now been unified and the build system auto detects 
which Asterisk version you're using (yay! one branch!)

- Auto-detection and support for both the Cepstral 5.0 and 6.0 engines

- Support for Asterisk 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 1.8 Certified, and 10

- Asterisk 1.2 support has been dropped.


I have only been able to do some basic testing with all these permutations of 
Asterisk and the Cepstral engines on a few of my machines here at the house and 
need some volunteers to help out and be guinea-pigs.

Please email me directly with any feedback you might have.


I've updated my github repo with the new app_swift code which can be downloaded 
using git.

git clone git://github.com/dmsessions/app_swift.git


Thanks,

 - D

Re: [asterisk-users] OT - T.38 unreliable on a LAN : truth or obscurantism ?

2012-02-15 Thread Darren Nickerson
T.38 is tolerant of most network conditions, ... the challenges in getting 
reliable performance are usually limited to getting the interop right once, but 
the absolute success rate will depend on the quality of your T.38/PSTN 
gateway's fax implementation. In general terms, T.38 is actually the right way 
to cope with lossy or high jitter network conditions, and so it's reliable over 
most networks.

The question people usually ask is whether fax over G.711 is unreliable on a 
LAN. To which the answer would be a definite 'it depends' ;-)

 In this case, fax calls are coming in through an analog gateway,

 Yes.
 
 An other thing to factor in, is how Asterisk's load could influence
 its capability to let faxes passing through. To me, if Asterisk is
 installed on a modern CPU (dual core and more) and is configured in
 such a way that no transcoding happen, then passing faxes through is
 easy and works reliably.
 
 Opinions ?

The devil is in the details, but in general it's nowhere near that simple. You 
don't clarify what pass-through role Asterisk is playing here. G.711? T.38? 
What are you passing through TO? A TDM card connected to the PSTN? Or some SIP 
trunking provider, who themselves may be using G.711 or T.38 ... 

Assuming you mean the specific case of one local LAN hop over SIP, connecting 
directly to a well-configured PSTN card on the same Asterisk server, it's 
possible to get reliable faxing over G.711 with careful network configuration, 
good and well configured ethernet interfaces, correct jitter buffer, gain and 
echo cancelation settings, etc etc.

 passing trough Asterisk and then going out to ISDN through a digital
 gateway.
 
 
 Is T.38 actually in use in this scenario? Or are you simply passing the fax
 call through Asterisk as 'normal' audio (G.711u/a, etc)?
 
 Yes, T.38 is in use between each gateway and Asterisk (I should have
 specified this more clearly) :
 Fax Machine -- Analog Gw --T.38-- Asterisk --T.38 -- Digital Gw
 --ISDN-- PSTN

Assuming you have Asterisk doing T.38 pass-through here, reinviting the T.38 
payload to go directly between the analog GW and the Digital GW, and assuming 
that 'Digital Gw' has a good T.30 fax engine inside of it (because after all, 
the gateway is what's speaking convention audio-based fax to the remote 
sender/receiver, the above setup should work well independent of network 
conditions.

T.38 has ways of coping with extremely bad connections (via packet redundancy 
or FEC error correction) that you probably would not need on a LAN.

Note, however, the use of T.38 versus G.711 may limit the speed of your faxing 
to 14,400 and prevent the fax protocol from using its own error correction 
(many T.38 gateway implementations wrong-headedly disable ECM error 
correction). When it comes to faxing over a LAN, the choice of T.38 versus 
G.711 uLaw/aLaw is less than obvious. In your case, it will be highly dependent 
upon each piece of your call flow. The fax machine, the analog gateway, how 
Asterisk is setup, the digital gateway and the quality of the PSTN line. These 
days you cannot trust that your PSTN carrier is using TDM routes, sometimes 
they slip a little T.38 in the middle on you, and all bets are off.

No matter what scenario you go with though, you probably want to get Asterisk 
out of the media path and get a gateway-to-gateway conversation going 
eventually.

[asterisk-users] app_swift tts module - new home.

2011-12-15 Thread Darren Sessions
Hi Folks,

After receiving a surprising amount of emails from Asterisk community
members, I thought I'd fire something off to the users list to clear
any confusion regarding the Asterisk Forge (forge.asterisk.org)
website and the future of the app_swift text-to-speech module.

With regards to the Asterisk Forge website redirecting to GitHub, this
has been a long time coming. Emails were sent out to the various lists
warning folks that the hosted GForge site was going away - so no one
should be too surprised - 'nuf said there.

As far as the app_swift project is concerned, with the exception of
moving things around as far as location, it is business as usual.

The app_swift code for *all* the different versions of Asterisk is now
being hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/dmsessions/app_swift .
This is a good thing and will make life easier.

btw, I love git. If you don't yet, you will . . someday soon . .

Individual tar files for each of the different versions of app_swift,
which is what 99% of people are going to want, are all available for
download on my website at http://www.darrensessions.com by clicking
the 'Downloads' button at the very top of the page.

That is all my friends.

Seasons Greetings!

 - Darren

 Hi Faisal,

 Thanks for reply but I want hardware wase VoIP device. If know please

  *1)Polycom SoundStation IP 7000

 *

 *Why it's best: *The Polycom SoundStation IP 7000 is the most advanced
 conference phone from the Polycom SoundStation lineup and leaves little to
 be desired. With an amazing 20’ 360 radius, the 7000 is perfect for large
 conference rooms. The new HD voice quality (22 kHz) allows.

 *
 *

 *2) Polycom Voicestation 500*

 *
 *

 *Why it's a best pick: *The Polycom VoiceStation 500 is one of the best
 conference phones for a wide variety of reasons. The VoiceStation 500
 features amazing call quality, 7’ 360 radius, Bluetooth connectivity, wired
 connection, background noise reduction, and an attractive design.

 *
 *

 *3)Panasonic - 8-Microphone Speakerphone with Caller ID KX-TS730S*

 *
 *

 *Why it's a best pick: *With a 360 10’ radius and 8 microphones, everyone
 is sure to be heard with the Panasonic KX-TS730S. The multiple microphones
 allows for everyone sitting in on the conference to be heard uniformly
 without distortion.

 *
 *

 *4)Cisco Unified IP Conference Station 7937G Conference VoIP Phone*

 *
 *

 *Why it's a best pick: *The Cisco 7937G works via VoIP connection, has
 stunning call clarity, and features a simplistic but expensive design that
 is easy to use. Cisco is an industry leader in IT communication products,
 and the 7937G is no different. The 360 design allows everyone to be heard.

 *
 *

 *5)Polycom SoundStation VTX 1000*

 *
 *

 *Why it's a best pick: *The SoundStation VTX 1000 is an incredible
 conference phone, but it is very pricey and not as good as advertised. The
 VTX 1000 is designed for large conference rooms and features upgradable
 software (which is a huge benefit since the cost is so high), 20’ 360
 radius.

[asterisk-users] app_swift for Asterisk 10

2011-08-15 Thread Darren Sessions
Hey there folks,

I'd sent this to the list last night and got reject email this
morning. Apparently it is always a good idea to have an active
subscription to the list you are trying to post to - just one of those
things. :)

In any case, a new beta version of app_swift is available for Asterisk
10. I put it up in the Asterisk Forge on the 25th of last month, but
wanted to wait to post something on the users list until I'd had a
chance to really test it a bit (so far so good).

http://forge.asterisk.org/gf/project/app_swift/frs/

I have to say, the combination of Asterisk 10 and this latest version
of app_swift is absolutely the best sounding of any release to-date!
I've been *very* impressed so far.

Also, just fyi . . there are some extremely minor tweaks I'll be
back-porting to the other app_swift versions shortly. I hope to get
that done this weekend or next depending on my free time.

Enjoy,

 - Darren

our own fail2ban sharing server so that we could share the bans across

Wrong.  What do you think Asterisk is?  Chopped meat?  It's a VoIP
switch.  All traffic inside Asterisk is VoIP.


I have an asterisk server with 2 23B+D PRI's

I want to telnet/ssh into the asterisk server, and make an outbound call
serial based modem/terminal connection (Like the 80/90's BBS Days).

No TCP/IP or PPP or crazyness

(ie, dialing into a Modem set to AA hooked to a Cisco Console Port)

Depends on your expectation.  Because of compression in the codecs, it
will be hard to get fast dialup.  If you mean ssh or telnet, it might
work.  If you mean vnc or RDP over this, you may not get enough usable
bandwidth to do that.

Given this, I have in an emergency dialed into a RAS server via a VoIP
line. My laptop connected at 14,400bps.  All I needed to do was telnet
into an APC masterswitch to toggle power on one outlet.  It worked.

I was surprised at getting a 14,400bps connect.  I was not expecting
that high and really did not need that high.  300 baud probably would
have been fast enough to telnet into an APC masterswitch.

[asterisk-users] Sharing Fail2ban data

2010-12-02 Thread Darren Wiebe
Good Day,

I've been doing a little work that I wanted to share.  We've had a 
number of Asterisk systems that have been under heavier than normal 
attack.  We use fail2ban but we either have to let each system be 
exposed or keep all the data synchronized which is a bit of a chore.  I 
wrote a little server that assists in keeping data synchronized across 
sites.  If you're interested in using it to assist in managing your own 
fail2ban sharing list I'll gladly share it.  I also am offering it as a 
free service for those who are interested in contributing to a 
blacklist.  If you're interested the information is available here:  
http://fail2ban.aleph-com.net/fail2ban_sharing  If you're interested in 
the server code just drop me an email.

 Not enough applications to play immature bathroom sounds.

You could well be right, but consider for a moment a few alternatives.

Perhaps it's the $5000 up front just to be listed? I see the fee's reduced to 
$2500 now as a promo, but still  that's a huge barrier for most.

Or perhaps its the fact that the nature of the apps that get listed means they 
aren't usually 'purchase-able' with a simple 'click to buy' (how do you sell 
SIP trunking with a click-to-buy???)  - and as a consequence there's no 
purchase capability built into the asteriskexchange site, just link outs to 
different purchase-ish URLs for the various products.  Anyone looking to sell 
their app would need to develop their own point-of-sale/payment processing 
systems   so it's really not an 'app store' at all in the traditional sense.

Kudos to digium for realizing this goal, but I think the $5000 get-in cost has 
resulted in the lack of interest/popularity, and limited the listings to only 
the largest, most profitable asterisk/digium partners.

[asterisk-users] app_swift v2.0 released

2010-06-17 Thread Darren Sessions
Hi all,

Thought I'd mention that the new version of the app_swift text-to-speech module 
for Asterisk 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6 has been released at it's new home on the 
Asterisk Forge.

http://forge.asterisk.org/gf/project/app_swift/

For those that are unaware, app_swift provides a direct interface with the 
Cepstral text-to-speech engine so instead of having to call the Cepstral engine 
and write then read an audio file (i.e. disk I/O), you can call the library 
directly and stream the audio straight to the Asterisk channel. Additionally, 
the app_swift module supports DTMF detection with a max digits and timeout 
value as well (similar to the AGI get data functionality).

The new version of app_swift has been built and tested on the latest releases 
of Asterisk for each of their respective code-bases (1.2.40, 1.4.32, and 
1.6.2.8) using the Cepstral 5.x libraries.

Any questions or feedback, please let me know.

Thanks,

- Darren

 is there a way that I could call the outside conference # and then

 local asterisk conference back - and if I do that how do I hang up the
 long distance conference when it is done?

 I seem to be missing some basic understanding here.

I would call into the free conference service and then transfer that 
call into my meetme conference.  If you're using Trixbox you can use the 
MeetMe web control to disconnect the call when you're done.  You can 
also disconnect calls from the asterisk cli using the soft hangup command.

Re: [asterisk-users] MeetMe Conferencing - Announce your own join/leave to yourself and other conference members

2010-01-19 Thread Darren Sessions
Well, never mind on this (didn't get any responses anyways). I basically 
removed the meetme announcement options and wrote the functionality from 
scratch into my AGI framework along with an announcement queuing daemon that 
runs continuously every second in the background that generates a call file and 
plays back the user name recording. Hasn't added any CPU overhead with the call 
processing and along with working as intended I think there maybe some other 
unique capabilities for it down the road.

In any case, thought I'd update the thread.

 Depends on what level of firewall you're looking for.

 For a full firewall on either a dedicated system or one of your own, I
 cannot strongly enough recommend Astaro Linux firewall. Better
 throughput than a pix, worlds easier to operate and configure, and
 comparable in price. Very SIP/VoIP friendly. Loads of optional modules
 (we use its mail filter module to filter spam/viruses for several
 hundred thousand user mailboxes, for instance) to limit the cost
 to what
 you need.

 Also has a built in SIP Proxy, although I've never used it.

 Excellent platform.


 Of course, at home, I just use a little Linksys WRT box. It's hardly a
 corporate-grade firewall, but it's quite SIP-friendly.

 N.


 No votes for Vyatta?  I have been seriously checking it out.

 Thanks,

I played with a demo of Vyatta and it looks pretty good.  We've been 
using mostly Endian (www.endian.com) or M0n0wall.  I've had good luck 
with both of those.

 Hi to All, I need to implement an automatic telephone messaging system

 Only for voice messages not SMS.

  

 Exists some application based on Asterisk that makes this, or any code

 The following two links deal with the same familly of boxes.

 Generally it's $20 for a case,
 $20 for a powersupply, but you've probably got an old one that will work.
 and almost all of their boards are under $200, except for the ones with
 lots of gigabit interfaces.  Many are under $100.

 It

 I`ve tried the DIR-655 (latest firmware is SIP-hostile, and the latest
 hardware revisions can't downgrade to the version that worked well) and


 the


 DI-724GU (SIP-friendly, but bandwidth management is automated and not
 configurable enough for my taste), both from D-link.



 What else is out there and allows me to do upstream QoS on cable/DSL


 links?


 Both D-Link routers were under 200$ (99$ and 159$ respectively) and were
 perfect price-wise for my target customers.

[asterisk-users] Detecting which party initiates a hangup

2009-02-18 Thread Darren Murphy
Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to detect which party initiates a
hangup - and if so, how this is done.

In my asterisk log, I see something like the following:

Feb 18 04:14:13 VERBOSE[17488] logger.c: -- Executing
Hangup(IAX2/ToHK1-16, ) in new stack
Feb 18 04:14:13 VERBOSE[17488] logger.c: -- Hungup 'IAX2/ToHK1-16'

This tells me when the call was terminated, but doesn't tell me which party
actually hung up first.

Is this possible to detect?

thanks,
Darren

 How about a moving stress variable that could be used as a lie

Folks,

First of all, this email is sent to -users and -biz, but please follow- 
up to the -biz list only. I have set the reply-to, but I fear mailman  
will strip it off ... Please don't flame me for posting to -users, I'm  
just not sure who lives on -biz as the (signal/noise | net.kook |  
troll) factor has been pretty bad on that list lately (poor Rehan!!) ;-)


Telephony Depot (www.telephonydepot.com) is always looking for  
talented people who get excited about open telephony platforms such as  
Asterisk (in its various forms), FreeSwitch, Yate etc, and who just  
plain find telephony hardware strangely fascinating ;-) Despite the  
media's recent report that VoIP is Dead* (are you kidding???) we now  
know from Don Witt** that the economic downturn will actually benefit  
VoIP (seriously Don, how did you make those magic graphs??). Looking  
inward at our own sales numbers, it would seem to suggest that there  
was a startling dip as the financial carnage was first breaking, but  
that the inimitable can-do entrepreneurial spirit that goes with  
emerging (occasionally disruptive) technologies is finally breaking  
through the doom and gloom, and sales are once again back on track.  
*phew*


To help us keep up with demand, we've decided to  add more sales,  
support and programming depth to our bench and have immediate need for  
a few people in our Philadelphia office. We're  looking primarily for:


- inside sales rep
- entry-level tech support engineer (must grok asterisk  company)
- web developer / programmer (ideally with solid javascript and/or XML/ 
SOAP experience)


We're a young  growing company (Inc. 500 two years running and one of  
the top 10 private companies in Philadelphia in 2007)  and we're  
definitely open to any other strategic hire that might help take us to  
the next level of growth. If you think you have something  to  
contribute to online merchandising of hardware around open telephony,  
send your resume and a brief introduction to w...@our-domain-name  
(sorry email harvesters!). Telecommuting may be an option for some  
positions, so if Philadelphia is a non-starter please don't  assume  
this rules you out!


Remember, in the unlikely event you want to reply to this email on- 
list, please follow-up to the -biz list only. Otherwise, please email  
privately/directly off-list to the email address above (*hint* - this  
is your first test).

 I do have monthly recurring charges which need to be included monthly.

 I do occasionally have need to one off (manual) billing charges.

 Ability to export to an accounting package a plus.

 Ability to generate hard copy Invoices and/or email them to the cust.

 Ability to generate a list of current Invoices.

 All in all not a very complex set of requirements, but the few

 Is it a phone or just a box with a button?  If it is a phone you could
 just use an ATA.  If it is a box, maybe the usual suspects like VoIP
 supply have something or Teledynamics is almost guaranteed to have
 something (but they are a wholesaler).

[asterisk-users] Interpreting Asterisk Logs

2008-10-08 Thread Darren Murphy
Hi,

Can anybody point me to an online resource that will assist with
interpreting Asterisk log files?

I note that a similar question was asked in this forum some time ago
(http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2007-June/189793.html),
which doesn't appear to have received any responses.
On that occasion, the OP was seeking a log parser - I'm looking for
more of a general reference guide.

I'm quite new to Asterisk, and VOIP in general, and I'm struggling to
understand what many of logged messages mean.
The current approach I am taking is to google for specific messages
(or parts thereof) - and this has been somewhat fruitful, if not quite
tedious.

It would be nice to have a reference guide that lists the most common
log messages, and what they mean.

Does such a guide exist?

thanks,
Darren

 You might also want to just check your settings at Vitelity.  Over the
 last six months they have changed the server I'm support to connect to
 two or three times so my * box was not connecting to them.  Therefor no

I've I'd had it up for more than testing, and been testing, I'd have

Re: [asterisk-users] Vitelity Asterisk configuration help

2008-10-06 Thread Darren Severino
Stephen,   What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you want basic call
in/out you're just about there. Changes need to be made in your
extensions.conf. Your phones, by default, are in the [default] context. In
other words when making a call it looks for extensions here. To allow
outbound calling include your outgoing context within the default. To
include it, at the bottom of the default context add include = outgoing
either of these should allow outgoing calling. As for incoming, add a Goto
as follows.

[inbound]
exten = 9045622082,1,Answer
exten = 9045622082,n,Goto(default,101,1)

That equates to goto the default context, extension 101, at the 1st
priority which is your Dial command.

Best Regards,Darren Severino

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Load Balancing

2008-10-04 Thread Darren Sessions
One other thing you could try would be to use OpenSIPS and use a  
standard config that routes to a hostname (with a creative failure  
route setup). You'd then setup the hostname in DNS as multiple SRV  
records reflecting your pool of Asterisk servers (set your TTL very  
low for these records). You could have something like sipsak send test  
messages every 30 seconds or so to each of the Asterisk servers. If  
one quits responding, then the monitoring app updates your DNS servers  
removing the effected Asterisk server from the DNS pool and  
effectively from the usable gateway pool.


I actually wrote one of these ages ago that worked fairly well with  
a10 calls per second SER server. How many calls per second are you  
looking to process?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk - Failover System

2008-10-01 Thread Darren Sessions
I agree that an OpenSER solution on top of Asterisk for a 120 users is  
massive overkill to say the least.


High calls-per-second? Multiple Asterisk servers? Multiple vendors?  
Advanced LCR? or plans for any of that in the near future? Then I  
think it makes sense to look at fronting Asterisk with OpenSER for  
such a small amount of users.


Asterisk can do everything you'll need it to do otherwise.

could handle the registrations) while you used Asterisk for voicemail  
and whatever else.


I've personally used this type of general setup in the past with a  
great deal of success for remote offices and soft-phones on laptops.

Hi all!
I am looking for some software that would work as a proxy between a  
SIP device (SIP phones and ATA boxes) and the Asterisk system  
running IAX. The reason is that I can only get IAX trow the

One solution I am using are getting several Asterisk system  
communicate trow IAX bout in this case would I rater have every  
persons computer act as a proxy for their own phones (Running Widows  
XP).
The reason is that the are using laptops and travel, some are  
already using softphons and IAX bout some don't like softphons for  
some reason.
If it is not any proxy out their, the will I write o of my own. (Of  
cause giving it out for free), I think Asterisk for Windows would be  
overkill.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Tips and Tricks: Dynamic
Subroutines inAGI

...

The hurdle in doing something like this was how to
dynamically execute
a subroutine from the results of the database query which
were dumped
into a variable. The method I used with the subroutine reference
doesn’t allow for arguments to be passed (if anyone finds /  
knows a

way to do this, let me know), so I use global variables.

This is a simple example of dynamic subroutine execution
(without the
database query):

use strict;
use warnings;

our $called_number;
our $calling_number;

sub run_me {
  $AGI-verbose(”Called Number = “.$called_number, 1);
  $AGI-verbose(”Calling Number = “.$calling_number,  
1);

}

sub set_variables {
  $called_number = “8005551212″;
  $calling_number = “300222″;
}

sub dynamic_execute {
  my ($sub) = @_;
  if (!$sub) {
$AGI-verbose(”No subroutine name passed!!”, 1);
return(-1);
  }
  my $exec = \{$sub};
  return($exec-());
}

set_variables();
dynamic_execute(”run_me”);


If you don't mind disabling strict refs (no strict 'refs';), you  
could easily do this.


This would allow you to use something like: $sub($argument1,  
$argument2);


The only other way I can think of (though I have not tried it) would  
be to populate a hash with subroutine refs and use the string as the  
index into it.

Something like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
sub print_ref { print @_; };

my %sub_hash = (print_ref, \print_ref);

sub print_stuff {
   my $sub = shift;
   my $string = shift;
   $sub($string);
}

print_stuff($sub_hash{print_ref}, This is printed.\n);



The first idea uses the symbol table directly, and the second one  
essentially is building your own symbol table.


Hope that helps,
- Brad

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Tips and Tricks: Dynamic Subroutines in AGI

2008-08-28 Thread Darren Sessions
When I set out to develop a basic service provider Perl AGI framework  
for Asterisk three or four years ago, I wanted to design something  
that would make developing additional Perl AGI apps under this  
framework scalable and easy to do. One of the features I wanted to  
have in this framework was the ability to do a database dip on a  
particular incoming called number to see which service I needed to  
execute and then to dynamically execute that subroutine from the  
database servers results. I could switch services or point the number  
to a canceled operator message by simply doing an update to that  
telephone number’s record in the database - instantly re-provisioning  
the telephone number.


The hurdle in doing something like this was how to dynamically execute  
a subroutine from the results of the database query which were dumped  
into a variable. The method I used with the subroutine reference  
doesn’t allow for arguments to be passed (if anyone finds / knows a

  $AGI-verbose(”Calling Number = “.$calling_number, 1);
}

sub set_variables {
  $called_number = “8005551212″;
  $calling_number = “300222″;
}

sub dynamic_execute {
  my ($sub) = @_;
  if (!$sub) {
$AGI-verbose(”No subroutine name passed!!”, 1);
return(-1);
  }
  my $exec = \{$sub};
  return($exec-());
}

set_variables();
dynamic_execute(”run_me”);

Re: [asterisk-users] Voicemail has issues with DTMF

2008-08-23 Thread Darren Sessions
If the Linksys unit is forced to a single specific DTMF type, and  
Asterisk is set specifically to something other than the Linksys, then  
when the Asterisk server answers the line your DTMF will not be  
recognized. If your outbound termination vendor supports the Linksys'  
DTMF settings, then that would also explain why outbound PSTN DTMF is  
functional.


Hope this helps.

Re: [asterisk-users] Semi-OT Satellite?

2008-08-23 Thread Darren Sessions
I've used C-Band, Ku-Band, and DVB satellite internationally with VoIP  
for years at a previous employer and rarely had any problems was the  
sat link was up and running.


If you do plan on having 'remote offices', you'll want to make sure  
they all come back to a central earth station (hub and spoke topology)  
or you'll have virtually insurmountable latency issues (as Femi  
mentioned). Whatever you do though, don't stick the remote offices  
with their own internet bandwidth using VPN to connect to the home  
office for voice, data services as VPNs are extremely problematic over  
satellite.

Unless you have a double hop scenario where the traffic makes two  
satellite hops from one remote to a central hub and then to another  
satellite remote the latency is actually not noticeable
Satellite usually has a latency of 250 – 300 ms and in most cases  
this does not have a noticeable effect on the conversation

Hi, using Asterisk over satellite can be done. Not all satellite

If you are going to do communications between offices that are

My personal choice for satellite connections is the Idirect platform.

We're entertaining moving our intranet to Hughes satelite for our

used satellite, and if so, is the latency an issue.  My  
understanding is that you immediately introduce 250ms latency for  
travel time up and back down, however it is a much more direct  
connection then offered by traditional land lines.


Perhaps someone has some other suggestions?  We've started looking  
into Global Crossing as an alternative to have more control and  
reliability between all of our remote facilities, maybe this is a  
better alternative.  Our biggest problem is most of our sites are in  
smaller cities where your bigger connections are more limited.


Looking for any suggestions.

Re: [asterisk-users] Suddenly the voice become like robot (cutting), like sick man

2008-08-22 Thread Darren Sessions
It's tough to say why a voice would start sounding like a robot. There  
are so many variables that could effect your Asterisk server.


I always go for process of elimination when I have a problem similar  
to this with call quality.


What I would do is install an end point on the same local network /  
subnet as your asterisk server (either a hard phone or a soft phone  
like X-Lite by Counterpath). Register the phone locally with your  
Asterisk server and make some calls or put an echo tester up.


If things sound good, you know your Asterisk server is working just  
fine, and the problems lies somewhere on your network between the  
Asterisk server and whatever gateway / device. If it sounds awful, and  
the codecs match, then it's time to start troubleshooting the server.

I doubt recompiling is going to help you unless you've
got a very
unstable system (hard drive going out or something), and
then you've
got bigger things to worry about then anyways.

You should install (if you haven't already) the
'top' program. Top
gives you a nice set of system statistics and a list of
processes.

If you're only having issues on the IP origination side
of things, I
would start checking your bandwidth and latency on your
network.

Is the originating end point on the Internet? or local?

to our Asterisk PBX (that has the problem) and the

call was via IAX,

and I was need to reach to the IP Phone, then I hear

the voice like

robot with weak battery.

So, the problem appear if the call originator was IP

and not TDM.

What could be the reason for the problem? No one did

any change, I

am sure, it suddenly become like this.

Any help?

You might at least check to make sure that echo cancellation is turned

I made a workaround with DeadAGI (below) but it is unreliable: if 2

Re: [asterisk-users] Perl AGI defunct process

2008-08-19 Thread Darren Sessions

Ruddy,

I've used deadagi for years with perfect success.

If it's a perl agi module, you need to make absolutely sure that  
you're using 'use strict' and 'use warnings' in the main agi file -as  
well- as any includes. You'll need to test your agi while in console  
mode, so any of the perl warning messages that get sent to the console  
are visible. You'll want to get rid of any errors and warnings.


In addition, I've setup my agi scripts to execute cleanup functions  
when they detect any kind of sig message just for good measure.


$SIG{INT}   = 'cleanup';
$SIG{TERM}  = 'cleanup';
$SIG{QUIT}  = 'cleanup';
$SIG{HUP}   = IGNORE;

With this approach, as I said before, I've ran perl agi apps in very  
high call volumes at various companies for years without any issues.


Hope this helps.

 - Darren

Re: [asterisk-users] US-based echo test servers?

2008-08-18 Thread Darren Sessions
Another thing you may want to do is try a simple ping test to the far  
end host. While this may not always be a reliable way to test lag  
given that the far end maybe just a proxy and your RTP may be  
terminating to another device, it still should give you a good idea  
what your lag times are at least on the signaling end of things. You  
could also do a traceroute to see how many hops your having to jump  
through as well.


You could use a tool like ngrep to actually see the sip signaling and  
copy out the media gateway from the SDP if you really wanted to, and  
do a ping on that.


I've done extensive work with international voip origination and  
termination, and typically I haven't had any problems unless it's  
going over satellite (lag) or there is a problem at the far end  
(usually pdd or quality issues).


If things keep up, I'd even consider running top during a call to see  
what kind of utilization your local server is at just to make sure  
something isn't wrong there either.


Hope this helps,

- Darren

Hi,

I'm running a small Asterisk server in the UK, just for personal use.
I've been experimenting with various VoIP providers for international
calls to PSTN numbers, particularly to the US (often California).  My
results, to date, have been very variable indeed, so much so that I'm
considering getting a suitable card and using the PSTN.

I have found a VoIP provider with an excellent reputation, and it  
gives
very good quality.  However, I seem to get quite a bit of delay at  
times,
enough to make conversation awkward.  As the setup at the far end  
was not
completely trivial, I'm not 100% sure the problem was in my  
connection,

but I'd like to test that.

Are there any US numbers I can call to get an Asterisk-style echo  
test?

Ideally, a California-based numnber, so I can try to call it from an
ordinary PSTN phone here, and compare calling via VoIP, and see if  
there's
an appreciable difference in the delay/quality.  I don't anticipate  
using
this for very long, so it doesn't necessarily need to be a free  
service.


Failing that, does anyone have access to a US-based Asterisk server  
which
would allow me to make connections to its echo test?  Presumably, if  
I had
this, I could rent a PSTN number from a US-based provider, and point  
it to
the appropriate SIP/IAX address.  I expect my total usage would be  
just a
few minutes, though having the facility available for a few weeks  
would be
helpful, to allow me to play around with various options.  Again,  
I'd be

willing to pay a modest amount for this.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Best wishes,

Nikhil.

Re: [asterisk-users] Open door automatically...

2008-08-14 Thread Darren Sessions
Set it so when they dial the number, it calls an AGI script that  
instantly answers and generates a call file and hangs up. That way,  
you could dial and then hangup, and the system generates a call file  
that calls the door phone and does whatever it needs to do separate of  
the initial call.


I just posted a Perl based call file generator to the list not to long  
ago that would easily work for this application.


Hope that helps,

Re: [asterisk-users] Auto Dialer proof of concept

2008-08-08 Thread Darren Sessions

Here is a simple Perl implementation to generate call files . .

You'll still need something for it to execute after the call files are  
generated; either a simple AGI app that streams a file, a Macro, or a  
nice dialplan layout.


In any case, you could call something like this very rapidly with  
whatever parameters to create as many call files as you felt like, and  
Asterisk would start acting on them immediately (if the call files  
were generated without wait time).

I am a **BIG, BIG** fan of OpenSUSE.

:)

Use yast under 'Software Management' and do a search for 'gsm'.

Make sure gsmlib and gsmlib-devel are *both* installed. Then scroll  
down and make sure that libgsm and libgsm-devel are *both* installed.


After that, you'll have to recompile Asterisk.

See if that does anything for you.

One important difference between the servers may be the compiler  
used. We have
heard reports that using GCC 4.2 or later with optimizations on  
causes choppy

audio when using GSM.

Solutions to this include either downgrading your compiler to GCC  
4.1 or
earlier, or selecting DONT_OPTIMIZE in menuselect under compiler  
options and
then recompiling Asterisk. I also believe that you can set the  
optimization
level for compilation to -O2 in Makefile.rules and have no choppy  
audio, but I

cannot confirm this.

Of course, if this server isn't running GCC 4.2, then you can ignore  
everything

I've said so far :)

redundant (Master-Slave) database cluster.


I immediately jumped to Postgres to do the job (using 8.3).

My biggest gripe at the time was that there was really nothing built  
IN postgres to do the replication as I soon found out. Everything was  
third party and there were several replication modules suggested to me  
that seemed stagnant or un-maintained or required an older version of  
Postgres (bypassing the massive performance increase of the 8.3  
release). Of those that I did try that were opensource, all of them  
seemed fairly complex to get up and running - to say the least.


Also having used MySQL extensively, I decided to give it a test run on  
a separate set of boxes.


I'm not exaggerating when I say the replication was up and running in  
about 10 minutes.


While I do appreciate (a lot) how standards compliant Postgres is,  
MySQL was an absolute clear winner in my book with regards to the  
replication.


Just my two cents . .

Re: [asterisk-users] how many quad T1 cards

2008-08-01 Thread Darren Sessions
If you had a dax in front of all your circuits, you could move them  
from one server to another without physically touching anything.


I've done about 300 calls on a dual processor box doing just SIP with  
an entirely AGI based setup and it held up just fine, but doing TDM,  
I'd worry about your PCI bus at those call levels.

 Subject: [asterisk-users] Beginner Issues

 I am new to asterisk, and I am having some troubles.

 I have a fresh copy of asterisk, libpri, zaptel, asterisk-addons, and 
 asterisk-gui installed on centos (I built everything using ./configure, 
 make, make install, make samples).  I connected to the GUI interface and 
 created two new users.   I used the two users accounts to connect up a 
 couple of IP phones for testing.  The phones connect to the server just 
 fine, and I can even place a phone call to the other phone.  However, I 
 cannot hear anything on the dialed phone.  The only thing I am able to 
 hear is my own voice looping back to the phone I place the call from. 

 Any ideas as to what I am missing?

Re: [asterisk-users] Realtime status feature - user feedback needed

2008-05-08 Thread Darren Wiebe
Just FYI, I wrote an application that tracks the status of SIP or IAX2 
extensions by listening to the AMI.  It was for use by callshops but 
would probably require minimal change to work for you.  It's currently 
part of the ASTPP source code.

   Your question leads to this question:  why don't you create a proxy
   
 application that listens on AMI and populates a database outside of 
 Asterisk,
 then do all your queries to that database?  That would provide exactly 
 the
 same functionality, but it would not require a single change to the 
 Asterisk
 codebase.  You could even contribute that application back as something
 in the contrib/scripts subdirectory.
 

 True, that was one of initial options, however I prefer to NOT have
 yet another layer. I will consider this as an option where
 appropriate. However this looks quite awkward to me, somehow it
 reminds me tailing queue_log or CDR and putting result into MySQL
 database.. just one level more that way.

 For now, I see only one point against this - having status cleared
 upon module load/unload makes it easier to follow restarts/module
 loads.

   
I second that,
If there is already a way to do things, why adding another one,
especialy if it's for caching reasons.
While we cannot say that asterisk fall into the KISS rule, it's not
a reason to let it grow.
  

   Agreed. There should be ONE to do it, it should be SIMPLE and
   as RELIABLE as possible, without interfereing (bad spelling?) with
   asterisk's operations: the proxy into AMI looks like the way to
   acheive the required funcionality... After all, that's exactly the
   purpose of AMI !

   Let's keep the codebase as small as possible, let's make asterisk
   as solid and reliable as possible. Let's not reinvent wheels!
 

 Ok, so we're exactly at the point. Yes, I agree that it would act
 nearly the same way as AMI actions, however there's one great
 advantage - It would be really easy to set this up for user. AMI proxy
 would take more effort, need configuration, etc. Then there should be
 much more development support for proxy than for code within asterisk
 (if you have noticed, there's no new code, just reusing existing
 functionality)

 I think that there should be several ways how to do something, not
 just one. Having realtime status won't mean that much changes, for now
 I can see only 4 families for this - queue_members (already existing),
 queue_callers, channels and meetme. Really nothing more to give full
 overview of Asterisk Status.

 Atis

   Rod,
  
   You will be glad that you are taking the learning curve plunge down
   the road.  No pain, no gain.
  
   I can certainly say that I am glad I got into Asterisk way before
   there was any real documentation or GUIs for that matter.  It forced
   me to learn the real deal Asterisk through trial and error which is
   invaluable if you plan on really getting into it.
  
   Then again, if you want easy, use a GUI.

  Easy isn't what I'm after.  I was hoping for planning worksheets.
  Something to go over with a customer (I know I said this was for my
  personal system but that is the first step).  How many extensions/
  phones/ softphones, and what their /numeric/ extension will be.  An IVR
  plan and the text that goes with it, voice-mail handling and mailboxes, etc.

  This type of stuff.

  So from the minimal number of responses -- yours :-) -- I'm going to
  guesstimate no one has anything like this at all or that they can or are
  able/willing to share.

  Out comes the notepad and the thinking cap.  /-|

 Hey Rod,

 I think I may be able to help with worksheets from 3com, NEC, and
 other system vendor's sales channel.  It obviously will not match
 exactly to Asterisk but will give you a great foundation for the
 functions and features that you need to question.

 I have my own but I prefer not to put it in the public domain.  It is
 adapted from a conglomeration of many different proprietary systems
 that I have dealt with.  I think many others have the same and
 consider it proprietary internal information for their business.

 Let me see what I can dig up from my archives.

 Thanks,
 Steve Totaro

How did you chose Centos, versus Red Hat, Suse, Debian, ?
Was there some key feature it offered that the others didn't ?
Cost ?

 Could you be more specific about what you mean by a recovery CD

 What is integrated ILO BIOS Access sounds cool.

Do you have DIDs already?  When you call a DID and watch the Asterisk
console with a little verbose, you should see the call come and how
many digits the telco is sending.

Then you need to make matching entries for those DIDs either in the
form of exact matches or pattern matches to do pretty much whatever
you can imagine.

Are you in Philly?

Steve Totaro

We are installing Aastra phones (480's and 57i's) into a fairly simple
asterisk setup.  Although call park  pickup work fine using xfer to 700
(to park), dial 701 (to pickup), we are unable to make the park/pickup
softkey feature work on the aastra's.

 

Although we've programmed the softkeys per the manuals, they seem to
have no effect (just dead).  For example, our 57i is setup like this:

 

softkey4 type: park
softkey4 label: Park
softkey4 value: asterisk;70
softkey4 line: 1
softkey4 states: connected

 

softkey4 type: pickup
softkey4 label: Pickup
softkey4 value: asterisk;70
softkey4 value: 1
softkey4 states: idle, outgoing

(we also tried asterisk;700 with the same result).  Has anyone got the
softkey park/pickup working on aastra?

 

Thanks

 I've had some serious issues with Teliax as of late with their new

 latency issues.  They are blaming it on 1.2 vs 1.4 asterisk compatibility
issues.   I have had zero problems with their old servers.

Interesting... I've got several lines on Teliax that have been in place for
several months and the service has been very good. Recently we connected a
new system to Teliax and I've been fighting the same issues you mention.
I've been told the problem is with my software since SIP seems to work
fairly well but not IAX. I also found out that my system is one of the first
20 systems to connect to their new Denver server. Now I'm curious about how
many others are having the same problem.

Voicepulse has been WAY better, but no flat charges, no 729.

 

Frankly, even my broadvoice (yikes!) connection has been significantly
better, no 729. 

 

For a full Virutal PRI, I'd look at a provider that can give you the
port and SIP connections, like XO.  I've had good success with XO's
product.

I need a good, reliable and stable DID provider for USA, Canada and

calls and not per minute charges.

Features I need to get with DIDs are:

1. my own caller ID and caller name on outbound calls
2. multiple channels per DID
3. g729 coded
4. canreinvite=yes option
5. IAX protocol

Those who are already in this business, please advise me whom to go
with. Is getting a virtual PRI a good solution? From their websites,
they all look good so its hard to decide who is really good and will not
disappear like Allo, or start giving voice quality issues.

Re: [asterisk-users] Analog DID

2008-02-13 Thread darren


An analog DID trunk is a line (typically part of a group) that has a group of numbers assigned to it at the telco side. They work in a variety of ways depending on the telco. One example is the trunks as Telus provides them. The end user provides dialtone back to the telco. When a call comes in on a DID the telco picks up the first available line (remember, the customer is providing dial tone.) and dials the last 4 digits of the dialed number. They are often replaced by PRIs but in some locations a PRI is not affordable and these provide the same DID functionality for a small fraction of the price.Darren Wiebe[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 13 2008 10:11:44 AM MST from Tzafrir Cohen to asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Analog DIDOn Wed, Feb 13, 2008 at 10:40:25AM -0600, Joe Pukepail wrote: Does anyone have any suggestions for connecting analog DID trunks?What is an analog DID trunk?You want to connect phones to your Asterisk?

Hey, that's cool! I wish I'd known that 6 months ago.Darren Wiebe[EMAIL PROTECTED]Wed Feb 13 2008 10:33:31 AM MST from James Finstrom to Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion  Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Analog DID-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-Hash: SHA1Rhino's Analog cards support analog DID. no need for all the extrastuff You will want to get an R8FXX with fxs modules that will giveyou channels in sets of 2.ADID has not really taken off in the OS telephony market I think dueto a lack of understanding people stay with the proprietary phonesystems that pimp this feature. Okay so I will take the lead and pimpit for asterisk. With Rhino Analog cards you CAN do ADID with no extraequipment. However if you want to spend the money we can go the otherroute :)darren wrote: An analog DID trunk is a line (typically part of a group) that has a group of numbers assigned to it at the telco side.
